Top-notch colleges in the US are dropping a major admissions requirement

Conversations about SAT and ACT scores are ubiquitous for high
school students applying to college. Increasingly, however,
colleges and universities have begun to eschew mandatory
standardized test scores as requirements for their application
process.

That makes GWU — with 10,000 undergraduates and 25,000 total
students — the largest private university in the top 100 best
ranked schools to forego rigid testing requirements in favor of a
more holistic application review process.

The National Center for
Fair and Open Testing tracks the schools with open testing
policies and has compiled a list of over 800 schools that do not
use SAT or ACT scores for admitting substantial numbers of
students into bachelor degree programs.
